Galintel® Lintels01 INTRODUCTION

Galintel® from NEPEAN Building & Infrastructure is Australia’s leading designer and manufacturer of high quality steel lintels for the building industry. Use the simple guides in this brochure and select the right Galintel® every time for peace of mind, superior performance, long life and durability.

Genuine Galintel® hot-dip galvanised steel lintels are up to 40% lighter than traditional lintels and 40% easier to carry with a high strength to weight ratio.

Better for builders – better for homeowners

The ribbed Galintel® profile creates a superior bond with mortar. The brickwork, mortar and lintel work together to form a composite beam with exceptional strength and load carrying capacity.

Galintel® steel lintels are for both residential and commercial buildings. Builders and homeowners do not have to worry about corroded lintels and cracked brickwork thanks to the generous galvanising layer – including the ends of the product where corrosion often begins.

Durability & corrosion resistance (R3 rating)

All Galintel® products are hot-dip galvanised with a heavy zinc coating of 600g/m2 which complies with a R3 durability rating. Durability is a function of the thickness of the zinc coating. Black steel is classified as RO and stainless steel is R5.

Galintel® products can achieve an R4 durability rating when coated with a two-part epoxy protective coating (contact NEPEAN Building & Infrastructure for specifications).

Industry compliance

All Galintel® products comply with the following standards:

> Hot-dip galvanised to AS/NZS4680

> R3 durability ratings in accordance with AS/NZS2699.3

> Loads in accordance with AS/NZS1170.1

Compliance with codes and standards is guaranteed – Galintel® products have CSIRO approval and are backed by research conducted by the University of NSW and Sydney University.

Product warranty

All Galintel® products are guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship.

NEPEAN Building & Infrastructure further warrants that Galintel® products will suffer no loss of function nor adversely affect masonry for 25 years from the date of installation. For full warranty conditions and registration details please visit www.galintel.com.au

InstallationPlace Galintel® Multi-Rib T-Bar in position on brick piers with minimum end bearing of 150mm. Prop before bricklaying no further than 1.2 metres apart with props remain in place until mortar has fully cured. Apply mortar (minimum 1:4) to all brick faces in contact with the T-Bar. The same number of courses must be laid internally and externally to prevent twisting of the T-Bar.

The Galintel® Multi-Rib T-Bar is a welded galvanised T-section comprising two multi-ribbed steel plates, 200mm wide with a nominal thickness of 7mm or 9mm (depending on the length).

The steel conforms to AS3678-250 with and yield strength of 280 MPa and a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 410 MPa. Welding is conducted to AS4100 and galvanising conforms to AS/NZS 4680.

Composite ActionGalintel® products rely on composite action. To achieve ultimate performance, mortar must be present at all contact surfaces between bricks and lintel.

Control JointsWhere control joints are used as a required structural element, loading of the lintel should be reduced by one third.

MULTI-RIB T-BAR Galintel® Multi-Rib T-Bar is a cost effective lintel that provide structural rigidity, high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.

The multi-ribbed profile forms a superior bond with the mortar. This bond between mortar, brickwork and lintel creates a composite beam of superior strength and structural integrity.

The Galintel® Multi-Rib T-Bar is a total load bearing lintel designed to support 230mm of brickwork over a clear opening.

Light weight with rigidityGalintel Rendabar® is considerably lighter than other forms of lintels, contributing to ease of handling and faster construction with less potential damage to green masonry. Mortar bonding with the multi-ribbed section locks the Rendabar® firmly to the masonry, providing superior lateral bracing and rigidity.

Control jointsWhere control joints are used as a required structural element, loading of the lintel must be reduced by one-third.

ProppingRendabar® spans must be propped at equal intervals (not more than 1.2m apart) when brickwork is laid up rapidly over and above two courses.

Code complianceGalintel Rendabar® has been extensively tested by Unisearch Limited, the research and development company of the University of New South Wales, for strength, structural adequacy and compliance with relevant Australian Building Codes. ABSAC approved (Technical opinion No.205).

Composite Action Galintel® products rely on composite action. Therefore, to achieve ultimate performance, mortar must be present at all contact surfaces between bricks and lintel.

RENDABAR Galintel Rendabar® is a total load bearing bar, fire-rated and specifically designed to facilitate cement rendering. The bond between mortar, brickwork and lintel forms a composite beam of superior strength and structural integrity. The platform leg provides a wide base of support for brickwork and a generous keying area for cement rendering.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSEVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GALINTEL® PRODUCTS

How do I decide which Galintel® is best for my project?

Your design engineer should determine the type, size and length of Galintel® for the brickwork openings by consulting the relevant technical data and safe load tables.

Why are Galintel® products hot-dip galvanised?

Hot-dip galvanising products are the most economical form of corrosion protection for steel. Brickwork cracking caused by rust displacement is virtually eliminated by galvanising which also offers excellent impact and scratch resistance to cope with the rigours of transport and handling on a building site.

What if I require a nonstandard length Galintel®?

You may use a longer length of Galintel®, which will result in a longer end-bearing length. Where the endbearing length is restricted, you can cut the Galintel® to the required length. The cut end must be cleaned, primed and painted with two coats of zinc-rich paint (minimum 95% zinc content).

Do I need to prop Galintel® products?

Yes. During installation, props must be positioned and not removed until the mortar is cured. This allows the composite beam to form correctly and ensures level alignment of the brickwork. Props should be no further apart than 1.2m.

How many courses of bricks are needed above a steel lintel?

The Building Code of Australia requires that not less than three courses of brick must be used above a steel lintel to form an arching effect.

Can I weld to a Galintel®?

We do not recommend welding of Galintel® products as welding destroys the protective zinc coating. If welding is required, consult your design engineer.

Which Galintel® product is best suited for a rendered finish?

Galintel Rendabar® is ideal, because it is specifically designed for rendered applications.

Is there a Galintel® available for fire-rated structures?

Yes. Galintel Rendabar® has a fire rating of up to two hours, depending on the application. To achieve the designed fire rating, Galintel Rendabar® must be cement-rendered after installation. The rendering must also meet relevant building codes and standards. For design information, refer to the Rendabar® Fire Rated Safe Load Table.

Are Galintel® products suitable for buildings near the coast or in severe environments?

Galintel® products are suitable for use in these areas, but additional coatings may be required. AS2312 specifies the types of additional protective coating needed to maintain the required service life in highly corrosive environments.

What guarantees does Galintel® offer?

NEPEAN Building & Infrastructure guarantees that all Galintel® products are free from defects in material and workmanship.

Galintel® products have been appraised by the CSIRO, and comply with the requirements of the BCA and are designed and tested to meet the relevant sections of AS3700:2001 – Masonry structures.

Galintel® products meet the requirements of the R3 durability classification, as defined in AS/NZS2699.3:2002.

Galintel® products have been recognised by the Australian Design Council with an Australian Design Award.

How do I identify a genuine Galintel® product?

Galintel® products can be identified by their ribbed profile. All products in the Galintel® range are also clearly labelled to show the name, size, length, unit weight, date of manufacture and durability classification.

How do I ensure full composite action is achieved?

By ensuring that mortar is present at all contact surfaces between bricks and lintel and that the lintel is correctly propped during installation.
